No.  That is a taxable distribution and a 10% early withdrawal penalty if he was under 59 1/2.  You should have a 1099R for it.

No, the money you took out is a distribution, and subject to income tax.  If your husband is younger than 59 1/2 it may also be subject to a 10% early withdrawal fee.  You should receive a 1099-R documenting this.
